25LC 02 035 LL - STEM Eyes: Get Your STEM Eyes on for Science!

The development of the new Primary Curriculum is an exciting time in our education system and society as a whole. To promote the development of STEM in the classroom, I will provide a range of ideas to support STEM learning using ‘STEM Eyes’. 
 
My vision for ‘STEM Eyes’ includes guiding teachers to focus on the skills associated with STEM and providing appropriate learning opportunities to use in the classroom in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. By using our ‘STEM Eyes’ we can reflect on everyday experiences of STEM in our environments, for example, in the school garden, in the playground, in the supermarket etc. Practical examples will be provided to enhance the hands on learning experience of all students. The importance of ‘STEM Eyes’ in providing an inclusive and diverse approach to teaching will be highlighted as well as the integration of digital technologies in this area.

STEM Eyes on for Science will reflect on ideas to explore regeneration, materials & change, living things and energy and forces. Ideas will encourage children to take a more 'hand on' approach to Science and in the classroom and in their everyday lives.
